one week.

 In the last one week (7 days) i have been very productive, mainly because I do not have school to worry about at the moment. These are the things I have accomplished:

-Started and almost finished an entire blanket (I need to finish the border)

-ran a half marathon

-set up and decorated for the wedding shower that is this saturday

- and I worked over 40 hours..

yeah this is what I do. It feels good to be really productive, that I impress myself sometimes. 

wedding shower ahead.

So the wedding shower is THIS saturday and there is so much to do in our house.. well i might be exaggerating but it does need to be cleaned, etc. ugh cleaning not to mention I have to work 40+ hours this week, ugh. Well i'll post as I go and come up with ideas.

PS. less than 100 days to the wedding.. woo hoo!

Craft day.

Now that I am done with the semester i wanted to get some crafting out of the way. Today I made a sewing machine cover. I used this tutorial I found online and made it my own. This is what I cam up
with.

Its not perfect and its not straight. I am such an immature sewer but this will do. =) 

What do you think?

recipes..

So, now that this semester of school is over for 2 1/2 weeks. We can focus on more important things like OUR WEDDING SHOWER!! woot woot. Long story short my parents are hosting it (more like my mom), we are having it our house (because she lives in California) and our friends are organizing the games. So anyways, I want to have horderve brunchy snacky foods and I need recipes.. please send your favorites my way. Thanks.

Happy Easter or Passover (depending on what you celebrate, I don't really do either), but i am anxiously awaiting Peters Mom and step-dad and my ham to come out of the oven.  I am very nervous on how it is going to come out. =/

Anyways, my blogging  friend Alisha is hosting her first giveaway.. go check it out at Married in Chicago, she is pretty awsome if I do say so.

Have a great Sunday guys.

so.. lets take a walk down memory lane

So almost a year ago, yup this project has taken me almost a year. This is what we started with.. brown eek.  (Do you remember those? yuck.)

Well, i painted and painted and painted for almost a year and finally finished it yesterday. I painted the walls Talc from Martha Steart and I love the brown/white color and I painted the ceiling ballet slipper pink which is just so creamy and makes me smile every time I say the name. The curtain (flower) I bought at Jo ann's and did a no-sew curtain, which i love and was so easy. The other curtains in place of the bi-fold doors I took down i bought from ikea over christmas. And the mirror/chalkboard is back up stairs. It was a $10 find from habitat for humanity that is now black. love! 

I also added a linen closet in this space because we don't have one and this will be empty a lot of the time.

So what do you think?
